Still years later, the 20 Minute Mark -> On is some of the most beautiful music i've ever heard. Such a special jam, this song really hits your soul...
That was around the time I turned to my show buddy and we both were like, is this real life right now?? Still feel lucky to have been at this heater of a show.
I’ll remember this Tweezer forever. I was there at MSG, my sister was simultaneously passing away back in my hometown unbeknownst to me. This song transported me on a spiritual ride, and maybe in light of what happened there was some additional reasons my mind went where it did that night. This is the first time I’m relistening to it. Phish is the soundtrack of my life in many ways. Now this Tweezer is just one more reason why.
I am right there with you, my friend. It's hard to try to put into words, and I would never ask anyone to do so. There is always love, light, and sound.
Great pocket of the music. Radio city ghost like a bit , vibes different they play to venues so well the gorge, portland meadows, worcester, but both instances walked out into nyc speechless. Lots of musicians and listeners associate colors/textures with sounds/tones these guys these lights never forget only thing my friend I was with said was "aliens would be impressed" :) He also has take that jaws is most influential movie ever and before then nobody feared water lol. I remind him of moby dick, hemingway but great take, Made some moments camden chalkdust. They go from so playful to spiritual I know everyone has there shows , songs,moments this is a special one!
Witnessed this live and it was the most awe inspiring improv jam I've witnessed in person. My friend was jumping up and down and going nuts during the jam and I was borderline catatonic, just trying to soak every second in. I'll never forget where I was when this went down. So thankful to have shared this moment!
Like I said to the guy next to me this is why ya keep coming back after 25 years and counting.... Thanks for the memories and to be able to continue to make more ....
Phish's music sounds like it's meant to express what must feel someone who just escaped a 4th-stage cancer, goes outside the hospital for the first time since long, breathes the air, feels the sun, sees all the people outside, the birds, everyone living their life, and feels the utter bliss of being alive. I read there and here that they're the greatest active rock band, and I believe it to be true : they just are.
Rigz Digz I was doing the same thing. I was surprised the free live stream went on for so long. It was truly something special. I went through so many emotions watching this.
sorry for posting again and coming back, just to insist on saying that 29: to 35: is one of the rarest and sheerest expressions of happiness in modern music. An emotion so very few were ablo to express, and in rock, probably them only can do it, which is why they're the greatest, period.
4+ years later, Page's synth line at 21:12 still gives me goosebumps Man i love this band, and I'm going to be utterly devastated when the ride's over.
One of the best at transporting to another level consciousness every show. To me, although very different, they took up the mantle of pure joy and spirituality of sound that the Dead excelled at.
Been a Phish fan for a long time....were talking decades now. I've heard a lot of Tweezer.....but this version is special. They were on another level here. AMAZING
Seen dozens of Tweezers live. They all were fun. Love a good Tweezer, but they're most always a blur in the ole' memory. This was so different in the moment. I knew at about at the 7:45 minute mark we were headed somewhere other worldly. I'll never forget it and for me all other Tweezers since are measured against 12/30/19.
No other band can do it like this. Phish better go down in history. I'm a sucker for Treys tone at 26:40 and i like the shot of the chick dancing, such loose vibes, a funky groove only phish can provide
Thank you for posting Phish! By far my favorite moment at MSG this year :) Icing on the cake is we brought our good buddy to his phirst show this night, and he's hooked for life! Glad he witnessed this gem too.
thats all it takes lol same thing happened to me I had listened to maybe 1 or 2 songs but wasnt really much of a fan then i hit a 3 day show in deer creek for my first concert ever and was never the same.
you guys are doing really well and sounding excellent. I congratulate you on overcoming your trials and persevering. I have grown up with you since '93, and just could not be more satisfied. thanks so much!
wayne de sauniere, great sentiment, and I share your opinion of them currently playing some of their best stuff. We are lucky in getting to enjoy it, as they continue to give us the goods.
you have no fucking soul to touch and you are a satanic fucking demon with no church whatsoever...only demonic phish to get your devil on with. fuck off demon
I think it can take years of listening, re-listening and digesting jams to ultimately determine their worth in the all-time ranks. In my opinion, after doing just that with this performance of Tweezer, it ranks as a top 10 performance that Phish has ever performed. Much of the discussion of this jam centers around the 20:00-24:00 mark. Which is stunning improvisation, no doubt. But make no mistake, before and after those blissful minutes are absolutely stellar improvisational moments.
You’re reminded about how great Phish is when you see a stadium full of people in euphoria over a great jam. But you’re reminded how happy Phish makes you when you actually catch a shot of yourself on a LivePhish video losing your mind at a show! Can confirm this was an experience to see live
The super-cool mellow section late in this version is awesome. But, I could not get help feeling like that section sounds like something I already knew (you know the feeling!) At first, I could not connect it.... Then, BOOM--"Celluloid Heroes" by the Kinks on their live work, "One for the Road." Check it out. It in itself is a great, great tune! To have my favorite band reference (unconsciously/unintentionally) a somewhat forgotten gem that I also love makes it all the better!! Thanks guys!!
@@tpstrat14 The shows that Phish played at Madison Square Garden over the course of the New Year's weekend / early week were most excellent. "WTF is lit" derp
Hey! We have a version of Phish’s Martian Monster and we’d highly appreciate if you checked it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Do4t-ewVxeI.html
Everyone in the band is special. But as well as I think Trey is their engine on the wings, Fishman is the airplane. What a drummer man. He makes it seems easy. Effortless. He maintains everything on groove. HE IS THE GROOVE. A lot of love for Mike and Page, each one adds their unique talent. They are amazing. But FISHMAN IS PHISH.
@@rjmarlow8229 couple recommendations, obviously ignore by all means but in my experience similar type musical journeys by band different style, speed in some. 7/10/99 chalkdust, 11/17/97 ghost and tweezer 11/27/98 worcester 2nd set whole thing never stopped and went in and out of wipeout:), 7/6/98 prague ghost and piper, 12/31/93 harry hood, 12/7/95 slave to the traffic light, great went bathtub gin, Also radio city music hall ghost was unique with theatre style seating for bands peak popularity considering festivals they were doing 100,000 people to have 7,000 was wild I was in row 12 :) very cool night. As this seems to have been as well. Enjoy if you get chance to listen also a 1 hour runaway jim worcester 97, a dwd from boise ID 9/14/99 that shreds to silly extent. Dexterity and speed extra gear or two in those years...band has always improvised with amazing telepathy given familiarity of playing live so much together over so many years and circumstances. Quite a thing to behold on its night!!! cheers
@@rjmarlow8229 awesome have a blast ones that still resonate years later for me🤙☺️ kind of jams I wish I could hear for first time again : ) I'm sure you know what I mean but still hold up after dozens of listenings lol 🎶😅✨ enjoy bud I still listen to them in rotation myself most all those,exception of harry hood 93 , should have video on RU-vid ✌️ 🎧🎶
124 shows here since 1999, and I've been talking a LOT of smack on Phish the last couple years. But this jam is nearly as good as it gets! This run, on tape, sounds like GREAT Phish!
Now the question is, how much of summer do I need to hit?! Definitely hitting Forum because it’s the perfect arena for Phish, and then begrudgingly Chase Center even though Bill Graham is heaven. But do I head East? Does three days on a AC beach, where it looks like the weirdest crowd shape possible, even sound fun?! Hmmmm. After this long tour, they’ll be friggin dialed by then...
Been listening for 30 years, and going to shows almost as long. They are better than ever right now. Other than a couple hiccups, they've always been improving.
Incredible. Followed up by Ruby Waves, brilliant callback to Alpine after ripping the only jam this year better than that RW. This is what music smells like.
The last third of this, starting at 24:00, is my favorite part of all of this. I’ve relistened so many times. Jazzy, dancey, Page doing his thing, all leading up to a great peak. I also love it because Trey could have easily transitioned to another song but chose to keep going. Once they went back up tempo I knew they were gonna take it for a ride.
are you f.-k.-k.-d.-ing me, forgetting Trey ? one of the greatest bout of inspiration I've seen in a guitarist !! And John, well... He's always equally good, so ...:)
